Surgeons are the most attractive doctors

[WolfpackWife]

This, plus slicing people open is more "badass" than writing a prescription or reading films, so money + badassedness = more attractive.

Actually I think the most physically attractive MDs that I've known averaged over an entire specialty are the EM docs.

In college during freshman year, one of the girls on my hall needed to go to the ED for some reason (not serious) and there was...and I am not exaggerating...the most gorgeous man ever as one of the EM attendings. I am ashamed to tell you that about 6 of us piled into the car no less than five other times that year to head to the ED with things that needed checking out to see if we could get a glance of him again.

WPW, haha! That's like that episode of Friends where Monica and Rachel get dates with George Clooney and Noah Wiley's ER characters I never got the whole doctor thing, maybe because I went to school with so many science nerds but here I am head over heels. Life is funny sometimes.

Ditto.

My mom worked in a clinic that had tons of med students rotating through. Several asked me out (and mom tried setting me up with several others) and I had ZERO interest. Thought I'd dodged that bullet when DH and I began dating. Nope. Two years after we married, he was accepted to med school.

I tried avoiding med peeps like the plague because, let's face it, they're gross. Did not work.

My husband is happily sharing this on FB. If only the people taking these surveys knew... I like how the non medical world ranks the most attractive doctors in probably the exact opposite rank list us med spouses would.

Confidence IS attractive! Hehe!
So I was looking at some old posts like this and noticed you married your surgeon hubby in pgy4 and had a child last year during fellowship? I married my now pgy4 general surgery hubby during pgy3! We live in NYC and are excited to interview for vascular fellowships and move south or west! I'm thinking fellowship will be a better time to start our family. Since you've already done it, I'd love to hear your advice!

Just absolutely...NO! I have to agree with those people who attributed this to the $$ surgeons are "supposed to make."

I've met tons of surgeons and regardless of physical attractiveness (or not) they are all a bit odd and dorky in my book. They aren't any more attractive than any other profession and seem to talk medicine more often than not.

Random story.

Last Friday I was at the mall with my sister. A very attractive man in scrubs walked by and said hi to her. I asked, "Who was that?"

"CT Surgeon from the old hospital. Recently divorced very flirty with the nurses CT Surgeon. No one is touching that with a 10 foot pole"

He had surgeon hair. It was great hair.

Haha - I did my PhD when my husband was in residency and fellowship and we'd go to each other's events and it would be dork central. I'm not sure which set of events was more awkward/weird.

It's gotten better throughout residency but holy cow are medical gatherings uncomfortable. I'm in a field where you quickly grow out of fearing your bosses and if you try to one up your colleagues your an asshole. I don't know that I'll ever get used to the medical climate.

BTW what'd you do your PhD in?

Haha yeah, surgery is particularly bad too. My PhD is in Information Systems.

I think we win the dork award for sure. Hubby's colleagues so far seem to all be pretty normal. Highlights from my events so far - the annual conference dance party (seriously, did you ever go to that? It was so entertaining and seriously lacking booze), and the year our department decided it would be a good idea to do intramural softball, and we had players who had never picked up a bat or ball before and had no idea what the rules of the game were (we switched to bowling after that year).

LOLZ I went to the dance party last year and was like what is going on here?
